Guess the Price

Play Guess the Price online in five fast rounds

Guess the Price is a free browser price guessing game built around five game-show inspired modes. Each session runs five rounds for up to 500 total points, asking you to inspect a product photo and category tag — such as Pantry, Home, Audio, Style or Tech — before locking in a dollar estimate or comparison choice.

All eighteen featured items use fixed game prices ranging from $28 to $699 rather than live retail feeds. That keeps every round self-contained and consistent whether you play on desktop, phone or tablet.

Compare the five price guess game modes

Exact Price and The Showcase let you enter any whole-dollar bid: Exact Price tests one item at a time, whereas The Showcase combines three items into a single bundle estimate. Higher or Lower gives you a reference anchor and asks whether the item’s game price sits above or below that mark, while Price Showdown places two items side by side so you can pick the more expensive one for 100 points.

Don’t Go Over uses the same closeness curve as Exact Price with one strict game-show twist: bidding even $1 above the item’s actual game price drops your score for that round to zero. Read our Guess the Price strategy guide for worked bid cushions.

How percentage error determines your score

In Exact Price and The Showcase, accuracy is measured by relative error: |guess − price| ÷ price, converted into round(100 × exp(−3.2 × relativeError)). Missing a $50 item by $10 (20% error, 53 points) costs far more than missing a $500 tech item by $10 (2% error, 94 points).

Because the curve is based on percentage error rather than raw dollars, calibrate your caution to the price bracket. Take extra care on lower-priced pantry and accessory items where a $15 swing represents a large share of the tag.

Sharpen your price instincts before Black Friday shopping

A quick price guessing session is also a practical warm-up before holiday sales. Shoppers often anchor on bold “compare at” banners without asking what an item typically costs on its own. Estimating baseline prices first — then testing stacked percentage math in Black Friday Trivia — trains you to judge total dollar value before looking at a discount badge.
